Anova Pro Stainless Steel Insulated Sous Vide Container Un-Boxing

[@KindofCooking]

Oooooh that’s a good looking container hahaha looks and sounds solid.

[@FireWaterCooking]

😀

[@truckpilot01]

Well, I know this is a 3 year old video, but Anova could thank you again cause you just sold me one of these containers to match with my Anova Pro circulator. I'm super excited to do my first ever sous vide cook.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Glad I could help!

[@Panoz57]

So, I guess if you have endless storage space this would be cool. However, I use a large stock pot that I already had plus I purchased a $10 silicone pot cover from Target. I used an X-acto knife to cut an opening in the cover that exactly fits my Anova device and its bracket. If I am cooking vegetables at a really high temp, I wrap a towel around the pot for insulation. Works great and I don't have to store something that large.

[@FireWaterCooking]

cool, like i said in the video it is not for everyone. i have other containers I use also but this is great for larger items and for people who feed more people or those who are looking for something that is insulated.. this actually looks really nice on a countertop and some people have more counter space than others. this is not geared toward the occasional home cook, just like the Anova Pro circulator, it is for people who are looking for high performance.

[@KD9ZHF]

I am running out of space. It’s like Tetris in my kitchen cabinets now.

[@ChefConrad79]

I was actually about to purchase this myself and it sold out very quickly. In a way I’m glad I didn’t get it and waited because they came out with another container that’s see through and not as tall. I haven’t used it yet just like you I moved and my vacuum sealer is still in a box but can’t wait to get it out. Thank you for doing a review on this and good luck with the move.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Thanks for the comment Chefrad! your thoughts are appreciated...

[@slm022]

Hey Chefrad ! I just received my Anova Precision Cooker Pro and I struggle to know which sous vide container to choose...So, which one is the most appropriate to use with Anova Precision Cooker Pro? The "Pro" version's head is square, not like the one in this video, and I wonder If it is the same diameter ( to be sure that it fits in the Lid hole ). Which one is the countainer you re talking about / appropriate ? Thanks in advance ;)

[@ChefConrad79]

Steph Da Likoo I actually have the Anova Precision Container it’s $69.99. I will be using it with the Anova Bluetooth WiFi version. I haven’t used it yet but I did place the stick in the container to see how it fits and it fits great. I like that it’s see through and there is what they call a cooking rack on top to keep the food submerged or you,can you use a clip with it. The lip has a very good seal on it to prevent evaporation. I really like that it’s not too tall so it fits in my bottom cabinet perfectly and I leave the Anova in it. Hope this information helps.

[@deanarvin]

Thanks for posting this! Great review.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Glad it was helpful!

[@inkdot22]

I know this is an older video... but would you happen to know the inner dimensions of this tub? I only ask because I wanted to find out if my current water racks will fit inside. Thanks... btw... great channel

[@FireWaterCooking]

sorry, I was out of town all week.. it is 9 1/2" x 14 1/2"

[@changgooey]

yea i got the 16 L clear one and thats great but i realli like that lid plus its well insulated

[@FireWaterCooking]

cool

[@mayaa2880]

Thanks a lot for the detailed review. Please can you tell me what's the inside dimensions? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks again!

[@FireWaterCooking]

16" x 11" x 8" approx

[@KNIGHT1517]

In the year of having how have you felt about it?

[@FireWaterCooking]

it is my go to container for sure...

[@nonapplicable9590]

purchasing this also :) I'm excited to get the things I've finally wanted for more efficient cooking at home, i used to be vegan so im not used to cooking red meat, I switched to grassfed meat and it's to expensive to mess up so that's why I wanted a sous vide among other things... I notice the anova goes down to 32 degrees, have you ever tried chilling wine in it?

[@FireWaterCooking]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@peterbrookens9026]

Question: Would the Breville Hydro Pro fit inside of this tub using the largest silicone fitting?

[@FireWaterCooking]

yes, i use my Hydro pro plus exclusively in the Anova pro container..

[@peterbrookens9026]

@@FireWaterCooking thank you for you quick reply. I missed the Anova pro 50% off sale and I was a little hesitant on purchasing it for $399 then I stumbled on the Hydro pro plus. I have spent the past two days researching the Hydro pro plus and I think I’m going to go with this unit. Though it’s lacking the WiFi feature it just seems to be better built and the delta cooking capability is really intriguing and something that I would like to use. I’m familiar with Delta cooking in the commercial Rational Combi ovens. The last part of my research was finding a good sous vide Container so thank you for your help with that

[@Kwijiboi]

It's double walled, but is it vacuum like thermos bottles? For example, if you touch the side or bottom after a long cook, is the outside room temp, or is it war./hot from the heat transfer? Thanks for the video!

[@FireWaterCooking]

Depends how hot you are cooking, but mostly cool

[@gmrpnk211]

What are the internal dimensions of the vessel? Their website doesn't say if the dimensions are inside or outside.

@@FireWaterCooking super helpful 🤔

[@changgooey]

yea i didnt like the nano cause of its whining noise and its not that bad on the precsion and the pro is the best as far as sounds thats prob a big reason why i went for it

[@FireWaterCooking]

I am not a fan of the nano either

[@markacinense3195]

awesome. the price is a little steep, but if it is double walled, nmight be worth it. looking forward to a full review and your thoughts... was it worth the cost in your review?

[@FireWaterCooking]

it is worth the cost to me. But I am not everyone. I use sous vide 4-5 times per week and usually cook larger amounts, so it is worth it. it gets to temp faster and uses less power keeping it at temp. And it looks nice staying on top of the counter if need be..

[@coppice2778]

Why did they paint the stainless steel black? Its easy to scratch, and the inside of the tank is rather dark.

[@FireWaterCooking]

I don't know why they painted it, but I like it.. mine sits on my countertop all the time..

[@coppice2778]

​@@FireWaterCooking I'm indifferent about them painting the outside. Its really the painting of the inside that bothers me. Use wire racks against paint, and it won't take long for the paint to get scratched. The clear tank from Anova has an upper rack, that you can use to keep things below the surface and you can clip bags to. The insulated tank doesn't seem to come with a rack, or have anywhere to fix one. I find floating bags a hassle, especially when sous viding large chunks of meat, and I usually need to find something to weight them down. That rack makes the clear tank look appealing, but an insulated tank also has its appeal. It feels like they are still one or two rounds of product updates away from getting things right.

[@FireWaterCooking]

@@coppice2778 no, it does not come with a rack you are right, but as stated this is aimed at the professional and/professional kitchen.. I personally don't use racks that often and use 100% vacuum bags so no need to worry about clipping bags to the side. there are polycarbonate racks out there and there are many other ways to keep bags from floating.. so far I love this container, but it is not for everyone.. the clear container is definitely aimed more at the general public..

[@coppice2778]

@@FireWaterCooking I gave up on sealed vacuum bags. They are great when you do dry things, like steaks, but we sous vide a lot of things with a considerable amount of liquid in the bag. That's probably fine with one of those professional chamber based vacuum sealers. With the consumer grade ones its too much of a balancing act to get all the air out, while not getting some marinade in the vacuum pump. :)

[@AGuyCalledEd]

Hey boss, just seeking your opinion regarding container sizes. Do you feel it's necessary to invest in 2 different size containers e.g. this 20L double insulated and a smaller e.g. 12L container assuming cooking is done both in large preperation and smaller portions? or would you say that having just the one 20L container is still efficient even if cooking in big or small volumes. I was worried the 20L is too big but looking at the "smaller" 12L Anova one, it's only noticeably shorter on one end by about 10cm, still sounding similar in size on paper but having 8L less capacity.

[@FireWaterCooking]

I find the Anova Pro container is OK for me for just about anything.

[@AGuyCalledEd]

@@FireWaterCooking thank you! Appreciate the reply boss :D

[@mpessato]

Does the Joules collar fit correctly?

[@FireWaterCooking]

it comes with 3 different size collars so yes there is one that fits the Joule perfect

[@jlove3270]

Hey , i know this is an old video but can i ask what rack system you used in this container if any?

[@FireWaterCooking]

no problem, this is what I use in all of my containers. works great! amzn.to/3T87pM5

@@FireWaterCooking Got it, thank you so much fior your promt response and help… Happy Cooking

[@jporiz]

Is the lid insulated?

[@FireWaterCooking]

it is rubberized metal.. not as insulated as the walls but it does not need to be.. you lose more heat from water that you do air and since the water only touches the sides...

[@lefterissotirakis]

Does it also works as a cooler?

[@FireWaterCooking]

it could

[@lefterissotirakis]

I mean does it reach low temps like 4 degrees?

[@roberthazelwood1617]

This could have been done in one third of the time.

[@FireWaterCooking]

but then I would have gotten less in advertising income... Geez.... 😂😘
